Whale Rescue: Watch Drowning Whale Being Saved By Brave Fisherman

A BRAVE fisherman risked his life to rescue a huge whale as it drowned on a fishing line. Charter boat mate Adrian Colaprete, 28, did not hesitate to help when his captain spotted a northern right whale in trouble. He dived straight into the ocean and cut the 70-tonne giant free with a knife - capturing everything using a head-cam. The dramatic rescue took place 50 miles off Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA.
